Integrated Amp Pairing for Harbeth 30.2

I am asking you to suggest compatible solid state integrated amps that works well with the Harbeth 30.2. This is a downsizing exercise and the unit should have a DAC and Phono Stage, both MM and MC.

My budget is anything less than $13,000. A Krell Evo 222 and Krell 302 was my previous setup.

I have the HARBETH 30.2XD’s …. But not in a “ unibox” electronics rig upstream

I stayed with amp and sources as standalones as improved audio performance options over the unibox options.


For me , it’s a REGA OSIRIS integrated amp, with a REGA ISIS Valve cdp/dac and a MOON 280D MIND2 dac/Streamer/network player as its high-end digital sources.You may need a phono-stage add-on if that’s your thing , 

My Take:

The OSIRIS bested all contenders and pretenders in MY system… highly recommended with the HARBETHs. (….. LFD was my second choice . ….)

FWIW: add in the ATC C1 Sub MK2 subwoofer with high level inputs from the beefy output OSIRIS…. an ideal pairing and EZ subwoofer integration with the HARBETHs as a sealed bottom-firing sub to flesh the bottom end below 50 Hz.
